to look for
Notes: 15.10.2rdp, 100.1.3, 166.6.2. -w1araga=ragu- to go looking for (object, food, etc.). (This cpd. seems to be Intr in 121.3.8; if this is so, the apparently transitive form in 7.11.3 may have to be reanalysed, and retranscribed from ngiwu-waraga=raga-ng to intransitive ngi-waraga=raga-ng.) Etym: In view of the tendency of =ragu- to become reduplicated (cf. Benef. ex. above with rdp. despite punctual aspect), -aga=ragu- and -w1araga=ragu- may possibly involve a former rdp. *-raga=ragu-. Cf. =anma-, -lharrma- (including cpds.), =w1arrangga-, =andhalhara-. Some inflected forms can be confused with those of =raga-1 or =raga-2, above.
